March 17, 2013

Each year on Super Bowl Sunday, the First Presbyterian Church youth of Toledo join together with Super Bowl of Caring teams across the nation to tackle hunger and poverty. There are 7,000 groups nation-wide.

This was the eleventh year the Toledo Presbyterian youth have taken part.

The youth group serves a soup lunch after church and collects a donation. All of the donations are given to local organizations. They also collect food items.
